Hi @rik,

Sorry for the trouble! I took a look at the feed and I think I see the issue.

RSS feeds generally have IDs associated with each article to help feed readers identify unique content. In the source code this looks something like:

<guid>the id</guid>

However with this feed it looks like the ID is the same on every article:

<guid isPermaLink="false">http://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/</guid>
<guid isPermaLink="false">http://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/</guid>

So to Feedbin, every article looks like a duplicate.

I'm guessing they made a change in January because it worked ok until then. Unfortunately there’s nothing I can do to fix this on Feedbin’s side and it needs to be fixed by the publisher.

Thanks!

Ben

Ah sorry for this, I could have ran a feed check before opening an issue here. Thanks for the quick answer.

Maybe you could update http://help.feedbin.com/debugging-feeds/ to ask people to run through a validator before filing issues. That could probably reduce the burden for you?

I've reached out to the authors to try and get it fixed: https://twitter.com/rik24d/status/847890361230004225

@rik, A bunch of new articles showed up in Microsoft Edge Dev Blog today so I'm guessing your prompting got it fixed. Thanks!

They were already aware and your analysis helped so it's cool that it's been fixed so quickly.
